These choices are great for the state. Congratulations to all our new legislative leaders. There’s a great mix of experience and newcomers to the team that will serve us well.
Godspeed !!!

Interesting mix. Doesn’t look like any “slate” won.
This group definitely means the House will have a different relationship with the Governor than the last 2 year
Much more balanced than the Senate. It will be interesting to see how the committee leadership pans out.
Interesting and telling that Chris Johnson and Goodwin didn’t sign on the postcard against Castleberry despite heavy lobbying. Not true believers I guess.
i have not observed rep johnson cavorting with the real republicans.
Rep. Johnson has not yet decided to become insaner than most.
